Which is the best weapon to kill a Bulldozer?

[»R3D«]

I've mastered the lower difficulties and want to move up and the enemies I have most trouble with is the bulldozer. I know that the fastest way to defeat him is to aim for the face.

I've tried different weapons, but what I seem to stuck on is too low ammo, so that is also a concern. I tried to google for some help, but seems most of it might be outdated seeing as there's been a lot of updates lately.

I'll thank you for you help in advance.

To kill them the fastest, the commando rocket launcher.

To kill them and also use your brain, the little friend, a grenade launcher or the street sweeper can do the job.

With the right build, the thanatos .50 can kill them in one hit from a distance.

[Fresh Yuuka]

rpg is the fastest, no thoughts needed, fire and forget weapon most of the time. If you cant sacrifice a slot for it, even a deagle works as long as you can break the faceplate and shoot accurately at the face.

The judge works pretty well in this regard.

[uNorthodoX]

Grab an AR (preferrably DMR) or a high power pistol. They kill dozers reliably and quickly. LMGs also work

Shotguns have problems busting their faceplate and GLs just can't effectively kill them unless you spam 10 rounds or so.

I also want the weapon to be good at the other enemies as well, like the medic, cloaker, tazer etc.and not just the bulldozer.

What is the right build for thanatos .50 in this case? I'm curious.
I myself use Crew Chief as perk deck (it's completed) and I have 113 skillpoints to use.
The only downside I see with thanatos .50 is the low ammo, then you need a good secondary?

The specs for the weapons I own is:

SVD Dragunov

Magazine: 10
Rate of fire: 40
Damage: 315
Accurancy: 88
Stability: 8
Concealment: 16
Threat: 12

Barett M95 (also known as thanatos .50)
Ammo: 15
Magazine: 5
Rate of fire: 40
Damage: 3045
Accurancy: 100
Stability: 24
Concealment: 0
Threat: 37

Izhmask AK-12

Rate of fire: 652
Damage: 86.1
Accurancy: 76
Stability: 100
Concealment: 15
Threat: 20
Reload time: 2.9

I know the skilltree matters as well, but this is the weapons I own, dunno which others are good.

High damage or high RoF both is the best.

If you use explosives to get the faceplate and the vizor out of the way the die quickly.

[Tschudy]

If you have the rogue deck maxed out, a dodge-based build with the izhma and dragonbreath rounds could work wonders. One thing that would help, is if you could tell use which DLCs you have if any.

[makkun・マックン]

Any weapon will work, but it really depends on your build. The most important thing is to keep shooting at their faceplata and then shoot their face, not just the head.

Use the Izhma and maximize your shotgun skills.

Yeah the Thana is a really niche weapon. If you want a gun that can deal with anything I'd recommend grabbing an AR, either a DMR or a high pickup AR.

Thanatos can 1 hit kill with body shot, but the requirements to execute it is high.

As for other weapons, it depends on how you sync it with your build.

I don't really think DB works well against dozers. A 000 IZHMA could likely kill a dozer 3 times faster

[Xilay]

if you use silenced akimbo krinkovs with body expertise low blow and specialized killing aswell as surefire aced , you shoud be able to 1 burst (~10 bullets) a bulldozer even when you aim at the body

BE doesnt work on dozers.

[Strider]

Use the Thanatos for dozers, shields and turrets - it's meant for killing specials. It takes out the turret's shields and dozers in 2 hits. Don't waste the ammo on normals unless you're lining up multi-kills or it'd be overkill or a complete waste of ammo. Pair it with any conventional weapon with a decent pickup rate such as an SMG, pistol or shotgun.

No I only have crew chief and almost burglar maxed out so far.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I follow with these abbreviations, English is not my native tongue after all. :/
